RUsTLEss iron is being manufactured
w New York by new process which,
it is claimed, converts the surface of the
metal into magnetic oxide ofiron. This
is done by sutiecting it successfully to
the action of highly heated air and car
bonic,acid gas from coal fires. The
hot air converts the metallic surface
into red oxide Of iron, whichis then re-
duced to black or magnetic oxide by
the gas. This renders it rust-pEoof
when exposed tn the air or to fresh or
salt water. The process can be APP
piled with most satisfactory results to
water-pipes and architectural work.
